Tax agent for handypeople in Melton.
Multi-skilled general repair work — small carpentry, painting touch-ups, fixing, assembly, minor plumbing. Sole-trader tax profile is straightforward but the cross-trade tooling needs care at year end.
Melton's small repairs, fixes, assemblies and odd jobs are handled by handypeople running cross-trade rounds. Fixed fee, written quote, on time.
Deductions specific to handypeople.
Tools across multiple trades
Drills, saws, basic plumbing wrenches, painting kit. Each tool tracked under $300 immediate, above depreciate.
Vehicle for site-to-site work
Logbook captures high work-km because handypeople do many small jobs in a day.
PPE — basics across trades
Steel-cap boots, hi-vis with logo, safety glasses, dust masks. Replacement frequency moderate.
Phone and scheduling-app subscriptions
Tradify, ServiceM8 or similar at work-use percentage. Phone diary supports the percentage.
Public liability and basic income protection
Premiums proportional to handyperson scope are deductible. Confirm scope covers all trade types you take on.
What we see at audit.
Plumbing, gas, electrical work above minor scope require a licensed trade. Doing it without breaches both compliance and insurance — and the income may not be deductible-against.
Plain T-shirts and shorts aren't uniform even on the tools. Only branded or genuinely protective gear qualifies.
